For Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren, the announcement of football’s return capped perhaps the most intense introduction imaginable to his new job
Kevin Warren spent the fall of 2019 shadowing Jim Delany, the Big Ten’s soon-to-retire commissioner of more than 30 years, in advance of taking over the job himself.
One year later to the day, Warren, a 56-year-old former NFL executive, presided over a decision unlike any that had faced his long-serving predecessor. Thirty-six days after the Big Ten postponed college football and other sports until 2021, Warren announced that the conference’s chancellors and presidents had decided to play this fall after all.
